Not that Taylor Swift has ever been my type of music, she never was, and is not now, but this is one of those albums I will never, never listen to. Never. Honestly, not even the singles. Not even a chance. I might here a few seconds on the radio before I switch it but that's about it and I won't watch any of the videos. I draw the line right here.

You wanna hear the best pop song I have heard in 10 years or longer? The new Bruno Mars. Just heard Locked Out Of Heaven (I think that's what it was called??) for the first time in my car tonight, and I had it cranked. Better than anything else, not even opinion, fact. I wasn't sure who it was but I was thinking it was Bruno or Gotye, but I wasn't sure. Great pop rock.

Re: sweetlikecherrycola – Twice actually. And no, I'm not a "fan". Heard that song yesterday in the car, because I listen to easy rock, and thought 1) "wow, not sure who this is, but it sounds like The Police" 2) this is quality pop music, with quality musicians. I don't hear a tinge of hip hop aside from a keyboard, It's pure 3) Its different than almost anything I have heard in the last 10 years.

Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Justin Beiber, Rhianna, and a few others…. that's all I hear in pop these days, and for a while and it doesn't seem to be changing. They all suck pretty bad, and are tired IMO. I am just sick of the whole "scene" these days. Look at the last MTV video awards. I'm tired of that. As far as swift goes, I think I hate the whole conscious effort to change rather than let it happen. I see/hear it as fake and annoying.

Re: sweetlikecherrycola – One thing is sure. I DO pay for the music in my collection, for the sake of a quality recording. Nothing could ever make me pay for the shitty american pop music that is out there today.

I really liked it. It had a good pop beat to it and what she sang about sounds like how life is for anyone at 22. I'm a country boy and I think shes doing good with country and pop music. She is also a beautiful girl. Makes me wish I was young again.
